ENDEMOL SHINE ENTERS DEAL WITH US STREAMING SERVICE TUBI FOR GLOBAL FORMATS OF MASTERCHEF AND LEGO® MASTERS

Titles to be available to viewers in the US  

LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, August 19, 2020 – Endemol Shine today announced that it has agreed to distribute additional series with FOX Entertainment’s ad-supported streaming service Tubi in the US. This agreement will see worldwide hits MasterChef and LEGO® Masters available for distribution on the AVOD platform. FOX is the home for the US formats of these shows and the deal will see Tubi become the only platform in America where international versions such as MasterChef Australia, MasterChef Mexico, MasterChef Canada and the UK and Australian versions of LEGO Masters will be available.

Matt Creasey, EVP Sales and Acquisitions, Endemol Shine International says; “We are incredibly proud to strike this unprecedented deal which will see global versions of two popular entertainment series available for the first time in the US outside of FOX networks.”

“Tubi viewers in the US will soon enjoy instant access to the universally addictive MasterChef and LEGO Masters formats from around the world at absolutely no cost,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer of Tubi. “We are excited to be collaborating with Endemol Shine on these two marquee global properties.”

MasterChef Australia and MasterChef Canada are now live on Tubi, with additional international formats launching in the fall and beyond. One of the most popular cookery formats in the world, MasterChef first launched in 1990 in the UK and aired for over a decade on the BBC. In 2005 the show was revived for the BBC where it remains a number one hit for the channel.  Australia was the first country to adapt the series outside of the UK, with MasterChef Australia launching in 2009 as the highest rated show in Australian history. MasterChef was created by Franc Roddam and last year was the best year to date with 53 confirmed productions across 35 markets, drawing in audiences in major markets including the UK, Brazil, Australia, Italy and Spain.

Family entertainment series LEGO Masters has sold to eight markets including across Europe, the US and Australia, where it was the most successful entertainment premiere so far this year.

TUBI ADDS FOX’S SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT SERIES ULTIMATE TAG  

Season One of the physical competition series based on the classic playground game is
now available on FOX Entertainment’s AVOD streaming service and joins other FOX flagship series including The Masked Singer, Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back and later this year LEGO Masters

SAN FRANCISCO, August 14, 2020 – Tubi (www.tubi.tv) today announced the high-octane physical competition series Ultimate Tag is now available to stream completely free on FOX Entertainment’s AVOD streaming service. All ten episodes from Season One, based on the classic playground game of chase, are co-hosted by NFL superstar sibling trio J.J., T.J., and Derek Watt. Ultimate Tag marks the fourth series from FOX that has been added to Tubi’s massive library of over 23,000 movies and television shows – following The Masked Singer, Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back and later this year LEGO Masters.

“Sports entertainment enthusiasts are sure to binge Ultimate Tag, with each episode showcasing a level of adrenaline-fueled action that keeps you on the edge of your seat,” said Adam Lewinson, Tubi’s Chief Content Officer. “We’re excited to tap into FOX’s arsenal of premium competition series for Tubi’s viewers to enjoy absolutely free.”

In each episode of Ultimate Tag, everyday citizens compete in the game and must vault, dodge, tumble and dive over various epic, three-dimensional moving courses. Their one simple goal is not to get caught. As competitors progress, they are challenged to take on even more extreme courses and earn points for their performance in each game. Chasing the contestants every step of the way are a variety of resident “professional” Taggers, larger-than-life characters who have a range of jaw-dropping athletic skills. These Taggers are intermittently released into the course, and only the contestants who can outlast them the longest will secure their place in the championship game and a chance at a big cash prize.

With total view time surpassing 200 million hours of content streamed in June alone, Tubi has over 23,000 movies and television shows from over 200 content partners, including nearly every major studio.
